December 14, 2011 A Message from the President..... Our organization is really in need for many members to attend our meetings and help with the planning of our events that support the teachers, students, and programs in our district. Unfortunately the members that are really involved in our group is starting to decrease due to the graduations of their children. We REALLY need your help by becoming a more active member to make our organization stronger. If we plan to continue to be a big supporter of the fine arts programs and students of Bethalto then we need to increase our numbers and have parents & members who are willing to take a more active role. We have started working on the plans for the auction set for March 17th. Several members have volunteered to be in charge of the various committees that are needed to make our auction successful. As I said before, we need new members to assist us in the planning and to eventually carry on our organization. If someone contacts you to assist with the plans, please consider making the commitment to work on our auction. The planning is not difficult, everything is worked out - we just need more people to assist with making our auction a success. The following meeting dates are our regular Monday night meetings and also a few Saturday meetings for the auciton planning. If you can't attend on Mondays, perhaps you could join us on a Saturday. Jan. 9 FAB - 7:00 CMHS Jan. 21 Auction Planning - 9:00 a.m GeGee's Restaurant Feb. 6 FAB - 7:00 CMHS Feb. 18 Auction Planning - 9:00 a.m. GeGee's Restaurant Mar. 3 Auction Planning - 9:00 a.m. GeGee's Restaurant Mar. 5 FAB - 7:00 CMHS Mar. 10 Auction Planning - 9:00 a.m. GeGee's Restaurant If you cannot attend the planning meetings then please just contact me and I can let you know where your assistance is needed. If our group is to continue to support the students, teachers, and fine art programs in our district then now is the time to come forward and show your support! I hope you believe in our organization and it's importance to our students and will join us soon or contact me! Sincerely, Julie Wiemers jwiemers@bethalto.org or (618) 377-7021 |

15th Annual Dinner Auction |
 The Bethalto Fine Arts Boosters are planning their Spring Auction at Civic Memorial High School on Saturday, March 17, 2012. This will be our 15th annual dinner auction to benefit the fine arts programs in the Bethalto School District. The Fine Arts Boosters is a non-profit organization founded several years ago to provide additional support for the Fine Arts programs in the district. The auction is the major source of funding for the Fine Arts programs. Since 1998, we have contributed nearly $315,000 to various programs within the district, including assemblies, band instruments, choral risers, pianos, guitars, field trips, sound equipment, stage curtains, royalty money for productions, costumes and TV-VCR units for each elementary school. We have also contributed scholarship funds to elementary and secondary students for camps/workshops and we dedicate a scholarship fund to support CMHS graduates who choose to further their education in the Arts at the collegiate level. The auction will be held on Saturday, March 17, 2012 in the CM Commons area. The evening will include a catered dinner, musical entertainment provided by CMHS band and choir students, silent auction, basket auction and live auction. The doors will open at 4:30 p.m. Each year Henke Auction Service donates time to run this auction and countless parents and volunteers assist. The event draws approximately 350 participants representing a wide segment of the Metro area population. The ticket cost is $15.00 per person and tickets must be purchased in advance. As in years past, the auction committee is accepting reservations for tables of four, six, eight, or ten persons. These reservations will be done on a first come, first serve basis. So, if you would like to be "CLOSE TO THE ACTION", please contact a Fine Arts Booster member as soon as possible. Boosters are again soliciting donations from both businesses and families. As a donor to the Fine Arts Auction, you will not only be aiding in improvements to the fine arts activities, but you will be recognized in the program as a contributor. Since we are a non-profit organization, your donation does qualify in most instances for a tax deduction. Please contact us if you have any questions. For tickets, or to make donations, please contact Julie Wiemers 377-7021, Jeff Fromme 560-9063, Patti Dhue 377-2695, Brian Huff 377-4711, Cathie Wells 377-8935, or any other fine arts member. For table reservations, contact Sandy Dewall 377-5860. GET YOUR TICKETS AND JOIN US FOR A FUN AND APPRECIATED EVENING! |
IPad Raffle |
The boosters are raffling an Apple IPad. The winning ticket will be drawn at our annual auction in May. Look for a Fine Arts member selling tickets at the remaining band and choir concerts, as well as the CMHS Musical! |
